Perfect long weekend getaway

The home was adorable, cozy, nicely furnished and super clean! We visited friends and family who live nearby but it was nice to retire to our own place at the end of the day and enjoy beautiful views of the canal.

Lovely, peaceful, quiet place on water

It was so lovely to swim, kayak and paddleboards (we brought our own boards) every morning. It's a quick walk to the beach and we found so many fossils this visit. Will rent again!

This was an absolute amazing place. Barbra was wonderful throughout our entire stay. I took my 3 siblings on a little getaway like we do every year, and this was by far their favorite! The general store and ice cream shop were big hits! Love this place.

2025 Family Vacation

Barbara's house was perfect for our family. The boys could fish and kayak right at the house from the dock. The house is just a short walk to the beach. The kitchen was well stocked. The deck had great seating and was so peaceful to sit out in the evening and watch the water. The neighborhood was very quiet
